I'm sure many of you will be aware that Oscar Knox sadly passed away yesterday, this was 2 Portadown FC youth players responses on Twitter:Club reacted swiftly and suspended them pending an investigation. Another case of 2 young boys throwing away their entire careers because of a silly comment online. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clunge 865 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Someone posted about being a silly comment that could ruin a potential career. When it was about Fernando hanging wasn't good enough for some. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

somerset bear 34 86 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I know the rumour is that the fenian comment was made by a Catholic, apparently his facebook page is full of Celtic stuff. However that should not really matter considering the consequences. It's just the world we live in when a dickhead with a keyboard can get national recognition by marking hateful or controversial comment. Im not suggesting the kids get away with their comments but they are just daft lads that think they are being the big lad or funny with this rubbish. It would have been a lot worse if it had been a thirty year old who made them. Give them a slap round the wrists and tell them to wise up. Rip little Oscar, I could never imagine the pain the parents go through when this disease hits one of their own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not my place to condemn or say anything. I merely asked and also commented on the wee guy calling someone a Fenian who had a very tarrier like name.I will sleep easy tonight anyway no matter how you view my posts on this.

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 To try and brush off the comments as a silly mistake is pretty shocking given the reaction by most to the disgusting tweets some tims made about Fernando.The comments are absolutely disgusting but the fact remains the boys posting them are young and stupid. Nobody is going to condone what they've said but they're kids.We've had countless examples over the past year or 2 of young people posting inappropriate comments on Twitter and Facebook and throwing away their careers. That's all I was trying to say. I'm not downplaying anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
